The Bound Between Us

Chapter 49
Joey’s full attention was on the baby in Dora’s belly, he didn’t have the time to argue with Gianna
“Gianna, you better leave now, don’t make a fool of yourself here”
Those words only stoked Gianna’s rage. “You cheated on me, knocked up another woman, and I’m the one who should be
embarrassed? Eight years of marriage, Joey, did you do me right? Are you even human?”
In the public sphere, Gianna and Dora started arguing, immediately drawing a crowd
People started pointing fingers at Dora, while others criticized Gianna for being too domineering, considering Dora was carrying
a baby
Hearing some support, Dora smugly retorted, “Gianna, you’ve been with Joey for eight years and haven’t popped out a single
baby You can’t have kids and now you’re trying to deprive Joey of having any? Joey’s been over you for a while now You better
divorce him now and stop wasting time
Even Anastasia was taken aback by Dora’s audacity
In this day and age, a homewrecker dared to be so arrogant?
Being unable to have kids was Gianna’s pain. Seeing Dora pregnant, she lost her cool once again.
Joey kept silent at this point. Gianna grabbed her bag and flung it at Dora
“I’ll make you pay for being a homewrecker!”
Joey stepped in front of Dora, grabbed Gianna, and scolded, “Are you trying to make a scene here and embarrass me?”
I’ve gone mad, and it’s all because of you two!”
Gianna continued to attack Dora and argue with Joey. Joey became angry and slapped Gianna, causing her to lose balance and
fall to the ground
“Look at yourself, you’re acting like a shrew.”
Gianna fell silent, unable to believe her husband would treat her this way.

“You hit me for her? Joey, you’ll regret this.”
Seeing Gianna get slapped, Dora felt a tinge of satisfaction, but she put on a pained expression, hugging Joey and crying, “Joey,
my stomach hurts.”
Joey immediately grew anxious, disregarding Gianna and rushing Dora to find a doctor.
“You bastard, Joey.” Gianna cursed at Joey, but she couldn’t stop him from leaving.
Gianna couldn’t control her emotions and started crying.
Anastasia stood aside, unsure whether to step in.
She knew Gianna’s temper, if she stepped in, she’d definitely get dragged into the fight.
As expected, Gianna turned her accusations towards Anastasia.
“Are you here to laugh at me? You knew Joey was seeing someone else. You’re jealous of me, so you helped them gang up on
me, right?”
Anastasia had no response, “Don’t be ridiculous, your problems are not my business”
Even if she knew about Joey’s affairs and told Gianna in advance, would Gianna be grateful?
Monica also added, “If you have a problem, go confront her, confront your husband. Why are you yelling at us? It’s not like we
made your husband cheat or got the other woman pregnant.”
Gianna turned pale with anger. Monica grabbed Anastasia, “Ana, let’s go
Anastasia knew Gianna was angry, and since they weren’t on good terms to begin with, there was no point in staying to comfort
her.
As Anastasia and Monica were leaving, Gianna yelled after them, “Anastasia, if you won’t let me be, I won’t make things easy for
you either”
Anastasia thought today was a total disaster. What did Joey’s betrayal have to do with her? Gianna was taking it all out on her.
Anastasia didn’t take it to heart, thinking as long as she stayed clear of Gianna, everything would be fine.

Anastasia and Monica left the hospital, had a normal lunch, carried on with their normal lives. After lunch, Monica had to attend
to her beauty salon, so Anastasia took the bus home alone
As soon as Anastasia got home, Salma called, “Ana, Gianna’s in trouble. Your aunt just called me, Joey really did betray her.
Gianna’s making a fuss about getting a divorce I’m on my way to your aunt’s house to try and...”
“Yeah, Mom, + know Anastasia sat down on the couch, “I ran into her at the hospital earlier. Mom, you better stay out of this. It
won’t end well and it’ll just cause unnecessary trouble”
